Seeing off the summer, I want to remember the sea and the holidays... Being in the Curonian Spit, we were interested in weathervanes...For the control of fishery in the Curonian Lagoon there was created a special system of signs in 1844. Using this strict signing system the fishermen eventually created an original art phenomenon - the weathervanes. A weathervane was a decoration of a sailing boat and the pride of the whole family. The older children had a right to repaint the sun faded parts of the weathervane.Catch the excitement and curiosity, we're taken to creativity, just not wooden:))) my husban drew a diagram and I need to take a needle and there are a small sym-weathervane on the linen.

The top symbolizes the power of nature and also shows the family's symbols.The windward side reflects the change of the seasons, the Sun wheel. The figures of houses and sailing boats are often showed above these symbols.The lee side pictures the symbols of family's daily routine. They mean a living place, neighborhood and property of a fisherman.The sign next to the flag showing the locality.
